Now here's one for the hippies and the hipsters: Vermont jam band gods Phish covering indie rock illuminati TV on the Radio at their Albany, NY, gig on Nov. 27. Watch a video snippet below, and head to LivePhish.com for the entire MP3. Phish are known for their covers: they ripped through renditions of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" and the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" at Bonnaroo , and played the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street front-to-back at their annual Halloween freak out .
